Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Before we knew it, it was October. On the 21st, the People's Daily published a front-page article titled "Major Reforms to College Admissions," officially announcing the resumption of the college entrance examination.

The entire capital city was in an uproar.

Lin Jinghan looked at He Yuzhu in surprise: "You recovered so quickly."

Even though she had known the news in advance, Lin Jinghan was still very surprised.

He Yuzhu nodded: "It's best to recover as soon as possible."

While they were talking, Wu Jianguo and Li Jian ran to the He family's house.

"Uncle He, Auntie, where is Yuanhang?"

"What do you need him for?" Lin Jinghan asked.

"Isn't the college entrance exam coming up? Let's find him and go buy books together."

He Yuzhu said, "Yuanhang is at his maternal grandfather's house. You don't need to wait for him. Hurry up and go line up to buy books."

If you go too late, you won't be able to buy any.

Upon hearing this, the two did not dare to delay and prepared to go buy the book.

Qin Huairu overheard their conversation and stopped the two of them.

"You're talking about the college entrance exam? What exactly is the college entrance exam?"

The two didn't hide anything and simply said, "Grandpa Yan was just reading the newspaper."

"Aunt Qin, if you want to know, go ask him. We still need to buy books."

Qin Huairu continued to stop the two, saying, "Then you two should buy one for our family."

The two of them knew all too well what kind of people the Jia family were.

If you agree to that, then don't expect Qin Huairu to actually give you the money.

"We don't have enough money either, so you should let Bang Geng go buy it himself."

We need to hurry to the bookstore. If we're late, no one else will be able to buy it.

Qin Huai couldn't stop the two and could only watch them leave.

He didn't dare to delay and quickly ran to the front yard.

In the front yard, Yan Bugui was holding a newspaper and reading its contents aloud.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were arrested, he has become completely obedient.

Not only do they not dare to block the door and ask for favors, they also take the initiative to help everyone.

Of course, this help is on the condition that he doesn't have to spend any money or effort. If it requires spending money, then forget about it.

"Old Yan, is what you're saying true?"

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "It's written in the newspaper, how could it be false?"
You can go outside and see; those young men are ecstatic.

“Yes, there are young people everywhere on the streets now,” said a man who had just returned.

Qin Huai asked curiously, "So what does the college entrance exam test?"

Yan Bugui pointed to the newspaper and said, "It's all written here. Let me read it to you."

Having understood the situation, Qin Huairu immediately turned around and went home.

"Hey, stop lying at home. Go out and buy some books."

Jia Zhangshi asked, puzzled, "Why buy books? Why would you buy books?"

Qin Huairu then recounted the news about the college entrance examination.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi was overjoyed: "Old Jia, please bless us! I knew our Banggeng was destined for university."

Sure enough, even God is on your side. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the money to buy the book.

Don't delay my grandson's college entrance exam.

Once he gets into university, our family will be considered a cadre family.

"Let's see who dares to look down on our family now."

Bang Geng remained unmoved and showed no interest in the news about the college entrance examination. He had never liked reading since he was a child; he would fall asleep as soon as he opened a book.

Xiao Dang's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was also eligible to take the college entrance examination.

She's getting old now and can't find a job, so she just stays at home all day.

After what happened with Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, everyone in the hospital looked down on her.

If she could take the college entrance examination, she could also change her destiny.

"Mom, Grandma, I'm running an errand to buy books for my brother."

If Xiao Dang is willing to go, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu will naturally not object.

Qin Huairu reluctantly took out a dollar and told her, "Spend it sparingly."

Xiao Dang was taken aback: "Mom, do you know how much it costs to buy books?"

Everyone's rushing to buy books now. Many people can't get their hands on any. Your amount of money simply isn't enough.

"Give me twenty yuan, I'll give you more if I have more." Qin Huairu, reluctant, asked, "Are books that expensive?"

Xiao Dang said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Third Grandfather."

Jia Zhangshi said generously, "Why are you being so stingy? If you delay Banggeng's college entrance exam, can you take responsibility?"

Qin Huairu had no choice but to give Xiaodang twenty yuan to buy books.

Xiao Dang is quite capable; he arrived late but still managed to buy the book.

While she was buying books, news that Bang Geng was going to take the college entrance examination had already spread among Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu.

The two widows were in agreement, both saying that Bang Geng had been smart since childhood and would definitely get into university.

However, few people paid any attention to them.

Bang Geng was indeed smart from a young age, but he wasn't good at studying.

The people in the courtyard were talking about other people, especially He Yuanhang from the He family.

He Yuanhang's academic performance was truly excellent, just like He Yushui's back then.

The three aunts asked Zhou Sujuan, who was standing next to them, "Back then, your Panpan and Yushui both got into university."

"Now, will Li Jian be able to get into university with Yuanhang?"

Zhou Sujuan also hoped that her grandson could get into university, but she didn't have much hope.

Li Jian's academic performance was also quite good, but it was somewhat worse than Li Pan's back then.

"The college entrance exam hasn't started yet, so no one can say for sure."

The third aunt said, "That's true. My husband said that a lot of people are taking the college entrance exam this year. It's normal if they don't pass."

To be honest, the third auntie doesn't want any of the children in the compound to go to university.

The Yan family is a scholarly family, and none of their children have been able to get into university.

Why should people from our department be able to pass the exam?

Wouldn't that be a slap in their face?
Wu Jianguo and Li Jian returned together carrying books, with Xiao Dang following behind them, also carrying books.

When Zhou Sujuan saw Li Jian return, she ignored the third aunt.

"Xiao Jian, have you bought all the books?"

Li Jian smiled and said, "Grandma, I've bought everything. Jianguo and I have already discussed it, and we'll study together from now on."

Zhou Sujuan said, "Okay. When your mother comes back, I'll try to find a place for you to study."

When you were little, you said you wanted to be like your aunt.

Now that we have the opportunity, we must work hard.

Li Jian felt a little embarrassed when this was brought up. He only realized how difficult it was to study after he actually started school.

He tried very hard, but he still couldn't catch up with Li Pan.

"Grandma, stop talking."

Zhou Sujuan knew that Li Jian's grades were not as good as Li Pan's, so she quickly shut up.

Xiao Dang carried the books home: "Grandma, I bought all the books for my brother."

Upon seeing this, Madam Jia exclaimed in surprise, "So many?"

Xiao Dang said, "That's not much. Many people also bought other books."

Grandma, the college entrance exam is divided into arts and sciences, and each subject requires five exams.

Madam Jia didn't understand this at all, and since Xiao Dang's explanation made sense, she stopped asking questions.

Qin Huai stared at Xiao Dang: "Where's the money? How much did you spend on so many books?"

Xiao Dang took out two yuan and gave it to Qin Huairu: "Is this all you have left?"

Qin Huairu didn't believe it; why would it cost so much to buy just a few books? She picked up one and looked at the price.

"How much do these books cost?"

Xiao Dang explained, "Don't look at the price; it's useless."

These books are selling like hotcakes outside right now.

You simply can't buy it at the price listed above.

I had to go through connections and pay a high price to buy it.

Qin Huairu said with dissatisfaction, "Couldn't you have waited a bit? How much money have we wasted?"

Xiao Dang said, "I'm doing this so my brother can start learning sooner. The sooner we buy the books, the sooner he can start learning."

My brother gets to read a book one day longer than others.

Madam Jia said, "Don't take it to heart, Xiao Dang is right."

Hey, come read this! (End of Chapter)
